Pharzi is usually played only with Transmogrify, Reincarnation or Daidalos. It works very well with those but I think it's too situational in a Starnoid deck.

oh so you dont run hulcus at all? and no magris as well? i would run 6x hulcus if i could XD

what does your build look like?

pharzi is good with late game awe recycling as well as stream recycling.but indeed a bit situational. also the 2 mana cost is not that preferable.

here with 2 streams however i wont run it since i rather snipe shields with tulk early game as well as having an easier starnoid drop mid- game

Hulcus is not a free body, you have to pay for it. Preserving your hand is the exact definition what Hulcus does (plus makes your deck smaller while doing that). Hulcus is awesome but I wouldn't play it in more control type Starnoid.

That said, if you run both Hulcus and Magris, you really get a nice LW Starnoid aggro deck even if you wouldn't end up summoning Starnoid.

maybe my wording was off/wrong but i spam the field with magris/ hulcus late game when i got controlled.now i am running lucky balls instead of maxed magris , hoping for early tulks/emerals.

topdeck tulk = tulk topdeck magris/hulcus then tulk = 2 creatures on field. this is what i mean with freeif you draw multiple hulcus/magris off of each other this becomes even more apperant. thats what i mean with free. its not just about preserving the hand.

you udnerstood my deck, summoning starnoid isnt that easy vs control. you get disrupted,controlled.thats why i pressure with cards that are more disruption-safe.
